How can we as a country help to prevent another election mess?

We can demand that our Congressional representatives attach conditions / deny funding to PA, WI, MI, and GA until they show proof that their elections administration is acceptable. Spending power is powerful.
The National Voter Registration Act should be amended to include provisions about the types of equipment/voting machines that can be used and what kind of safeguards they must have. Our congressional representatives have the power to do this. We need to call on them to do so.
SCOTUS: “Congress, undoubtedly, possesses that power” ... ”to pass appropriate legislation to safeguard [presidential] election from the improper use of money to influence...” — Congress must pass legislation forbidding dark money and foreign money. nbcnews.com/politics/2020-…
“Congress has the constitutional power to pass laws for the free, pure and safe exercise of [the right to vote],” declared the Supreme Court in 1884.

Congress must pass new laws to limit the time for casting a vote in the elections, to preserve the purity of federal elections.
Going forward, Americans must make election reform a political priority. The Courts aren’t the right avenue, Congress is. Instead of wasting time and money supporting fruitless litigation efforts, we must change course and instead we must focus on pressing our representatives.
New column discussing this will be published midnight on @townhallcom.
I don’t distinguish between Presidential and Congressional federal elections in my column. Since the election is one and the same for all intensive purposes, the laws protecting Congressional election integrity will automatically protect the presidential candidate on the ballot.
(There is a bit of a distinction between the two, but the complexity isn’t worth differentiating for purposes of this argument. Congress doesn’t need to say “Presidential election.” All candidates’ names go on a single piece of paper, the distinction is thus irrelevant.)
My new column:

Congress is responsible to every American voter, certainly to the 150 million who voted in the 2020 election, to enact laws to preserve the purity of federal elections. This is their job.

Kwanza is a shameless cultural appropriation of Chanukah.

Their menorah is called a kenorah. And the first “kenorah” was a Jewish menorah.

Will vociferous leftists call out Kwanza celebrators for their cultural appropriation???
So about the history of Kwanza... #NeverForget ImageImageImage

Texas v. PA, WI, GA, & MI

"Our Country stands at an important crossroads. Either the Constitution matters and must be followed, even when some officials consider it inconvenient or out of date, or it is simply a piece of parchment on display at the National Archives."
Texas: "Here is what we know. Using the COVID-19 pandemic as a justification, government officials in the defendant states ... usurped their legislatures’ authority and unconstitutionally revised their state’s election statutes."
Texas: "They accomplished these STATUTORY revisions through EXECUTIVE fiat or friendly lawsuits, thereby weakening ballot integrity." {Emphasis added}

2 U.S. Code § 7. Time of election

"The Tuesday next after the 1st Monday in November, in every even numbered year, is established as the day for the election, in each of the States and Territories of the United States ..."

ONE DAY. One. Not 3 months. One day.
1884 Ku Klux Cases: "to remedy more than one evil arising from the election of members of congress occurring at different times in the different states, congress... required all the elections for such members to be held on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November..."
But there's also this: "Congressional election may be scheduled for a date other than the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, in order to avoid discriminatory effects of an electoral procedure found to be unlawful under the Voting Rights Act of 1965" Busbee v. Smith

🚨 Texas has filed its Reply to the 4 states’ Response, and so briefing is officially done. Next up, we await word from SCOTUS.

BTW, this Texas Reply basically called the 4 Defendant states’ Response weak and wrong. I enjoyed the beat-down.
Link to Texas Reply brief: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/2…
"In an effort to obfuscate their unconstitutional abrogation of election security measures in the name of COVID-19, [they] tack b/w misstating the facts pled in the Complaint & arguing that this Court can ignore the express language in those statutes. Neither approach has merit."

Wisconsin:

There are 3,684,726 registered voters.

So far 3,239,920 votes have been counted and going... (95% of precincts reporting)

Is it really possible that EVERY SINGLE registered voter voted? 🤔

🚨 Check voter registration numbers against votes cast in each county. 🚨
*Actually, that voter number is even higher. My calculations excluded Jorgensen and Write-in votes. The total votes cast thus far is 3,296,836.
Consider this: in 2016, Wisconsin voter turnout was 67% but this year it's nearing 100%? Impossible.

I smell fraud.
